I am making my first steps in perl, and i am faced with a lil problem. i need to work with files and dirs, but restricting the files i have to work with. therefore, i used the find2perl utility to make myself a nice perl code that would give me the files i am looking for, but in order to work with them, i need to get them into an array, so i can process them. i am not finding a way to put the results of the find search into an array. I know this is probably something very easy to solve, but i am hopelessly stuck, and need to get it solved soon..... thanx noble monks for your wisdom on this... THanx all, i have solved this issue.... u've all been a good source of help / ideas
